Exactly. DHCP server would check for a conflict before assigning an
address and is definitely not the source of the problem.

Did not know that both had stopped. Conflicting IP addresses was just a
suggestion. May not be the problem at all. With bonding, breaking one
might break both down at the MAC level ...
Hmmm ... which bond mode are you using?

If you are the only admin, then its not that likely. Then again, I once
had a power spike reset a wireless router on my network without me
knowing. Default settings were close by not quite right, and it took me
a couple of days to track down the problem :-(
If it was working, then suddenly stops, then something must have
changed. I gather you have some configuration and change management
system in place? Backups of conf files?
